Factorio Forums

I'd like to suggest that the #Factorio devs have the "New game" & "Load" screens reflect which play type was chosen before choosing - consider someone leaving the computer with the game on the load screen and when he returns he can't remember if it was single or #multiplayer...

I suggest this because after playing with the menus for sometime today I got confused as to which load screen I was on - whether it was the multiplayer or singleplayer one and that's because. as far as I can gather, the same screen is used but on different state of play (Pun?)

These load screens probably take way too much time. Maybe you could just simply do this :

I'm not talking about THAT menu

I'm talking about the "Load game" screen that comes from the Play or Play -> Multiplayer menus

I don't have a problem with having the Multiplayer menu as an option under the Play menu - It actually makes sense (just change the menu title to "Play" - it's now "Game").

It's the "Load game" screen that is the ambiguous one - whether it's in the "Play" menu option which is the singleplayer one and the one under "Multiplayer" - when you're in that screen you have no idea if you're in one or the other - and the same goes for "New game" in both

I could post a picture example but I think I'm clear enough - if not, I expect them to let me know

I would kindly ask you to remove that picture, as there is another thread that is more fitting for it and it might confuse the devs as to my suggestion

Well it's clear now, but you know: A pic says more than 1000 words.
General recommendation: Even asking such a question is wrong! If you consider to make a screenshot to explain it then do it.
